Lactic acid starter culture is a microbial mixture composed of specific lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that is specifically used to start and control the food fermentation process and help convert sugars into lactic acid. This culture is widely used in dairy products (such as yogurt, cheese, butter), fermented vegetables (such as kimchi, sauerkraut), cooked meat products, and some fermented beverages. The production of lactic acid not only gives the product a unique sour taste and flavor, but also inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, improving the shelf life and safety of the food. Depending on the needs of different products, lactic acid fermentation cultures can be mesophilic (suitable for fermentation at 20-30°C) or thermophilic (suitable for fermentation at 40-45°C), and may contain a single strain (such as Lactobacillus acidophilus) or a composite strain (such as a combination of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus). In addition, modern lactic acid fermentation cultures are usually carefully selected to achieve more precise flavor development, fermentation rate control, and adaptability to the production environment.
